About this home

Suspended above Eagle Rock in a private hillside setting, this expansive residence is defined by light, scale and uninterrupted 180 degree views across the surrounding hills, cityscape and distant San Gabriel Mountains. Nearly every room is oriented toward the landscape, creating a sense of calm as morning light, shifting skies and evening city lights become part of the experience. Approximately 3,252 square feet unfold across three distinct levels, offering exceptional space and flexibility, while the street level two car garage and front entry make arrival unusually effortless for a hillside home, with direct access to the main floor and no stairs required. Dark hardwood floors carry through a gracious living room with a dramatic beamed ceiling, fireplace and broad picture windows. The adjoining dining room is framed by sweeping views and opens to a private balcony, while the kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, stone counters, stainless steel appliances, a Viking range and separate breakfast nook. A full bath with tub completes the level. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two baths create the private sleeping quarters. The primary suite is impressive in scale, with its own fireplace, sitting area, private balcony and expansive windows that draw the horizon into the room. Accessible from the second story, with additional access from the dining area, the rebuilt and waterproofed deck creates an inviting setting for lounging, dining and BBQ beneath café lights, with power in place for a future hot tub. The lower level adds versatility, with a substantial bonus room suited for a screening room, game lounge, gym, playroom or creative studio. An adjoining bedroom and full bath allow the entire floor to function as a private guest retreat, while a large storage room and abundant closets throughout provide generous storage. The home also offers the next owner an opportunity to tailor the interiors to their own aesthetic, with generous proportions and a strong floor plan providing an excellent foundation for future upgrades. Homes of this size and versatility are difficult to find in Eagle Rock. Colorado Boulevard, Highland Park, Pasadena and Glendale are all within easy reach, yet from inside the home, the city feels remarkably distant. With panoramic views from every level, multiple outdoor spaces, generous indoor and outdoor living, a private guest retreat and a pervasive sense of peace, this is a hillside residence that offers both presence and possibility.
